For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Hello dear @Appleblossom
Sorry its taken me a couple of days to get back to adding my congratulations to that of everyone else here.
What a joy ... a baby grandson. Will you be known as Nana, Nan, Grandma, Nonna, Oma, or something else?
My grandkids call me Grandma Sherry (oops nearly used my real name there). Such a blessing, especially when you were told there would be no children. Always a relief to know all is well and both mum and bub healthy. I hope you get to enjoy every moment of being a proud Grandma.
Sherry

I am still deciding and talking about it with my son. @Former-Member It was telling that he did not want me to be a Nanna as my mother was with him, then said If I really wanted to, that is was fine. We are still working it out.
